Each plant has a different need, and understanding that is a little tough. Just stick to the thumb rule of watering it when the topsoil feels dry. Read thoroughly about your plant and then water it. Seasons play a considerable role, and indoor plants tend to need less water in winters and monsoons.

Excess water in the soil can lead to root rotting and can cause plant death. So, water it thoroughly and wait for the soil to soak the water and throw the extra out from the hole. Remove the excess water from the plant plate you have kept below it.
